Talk:Worst 100 Firefox extensions

Er. Shall we replace all this nonsense about "existing extensions" with the worst extensions we ourselves can imagine?--DeathByPie 21:12, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Like what, an Undictionary search engine? <d&r> --Carlb 01:39, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

um i think that is what makes it even funnier, i made up the internet explorer entry, and lo and behold there was an actual exension that did it...

i suggest the warning be taken off the top

True, it's funny because it's nonsense that contains that one grain of truth. Otherwise, it would be just so many random words. Heck, I just pick the closest real extension to whatever's here and point the links there.

The not-so-minor detail that any nonsense we can devise (including the Uncyclopædia search engine) probably already exists in some demented but installable form almost *is* the joke with Mozilla Firefly. The Crashzilla chat log, for instance, is real... didn't have to make up a thing. "While viewing porn, most sites have galleries that link to the images themselves. Now, you can just middle-click the thumbnails that you like to open them in new tabs. Simply click the 'Save Images' button under the tools menu to save them all at once." is also a real description of a real extension. You almost can't make this stuff up because voilà it already exists! ;) --Carlb 20:16, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

The river of Time has washed over this page and removed all the sand from under its foundation.

Mozilla Foundation (or whoever runs the Firefox project) imploded the extension mechanism a dozen versions or so back and replaced it with something that only allows minor cosmetic tweaks to certain limited areas of the interface. As part of the cleanup after the Great Extension Disaster, in an effort to partly deconfuse users who hadn't been able to figure out why none of the Firefox extensions worked anymore, all "overpowered" extensions (the ones that actually did something, that is) were removed from addons.mozilla.org.
As a result of this massive "mopping up" effort by the forces of law, order, and end-user control, (nearly?) all the extensions listed on this page are long since gone, never to return.
This makes the list somewhat less amusing, IMHO, as it's basically reduced to a list of what CarlB referred to as "just so many random words". Snarglefoop (talk) 17:41, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
